friends and staff. I am sure their sadness is mixed with great pride in her life and achievements and
happy memories of a remarkable person. From when I first met Joke as a fellow delegate to UNCED

judgement, all reinforced with a dry sense of humour. She was an exceptional person who will be greatly
missed.-Michael Massey, former UK delegate
